Terraria creator returns to Old School RuneScape, and within weeks catches the MMO dev’s attention, fishes at a concert, and plots a unicorn ritual

A few weeks ago, Terraria creator Andrew “Redigit” Spinks announced his return to classic MMO Old School RuneScape, joking that he hadn’t played in a while and wanted to see if the “old meta” of asking for items still worked. I didn’t think anything of it at the time – game dev plays game, woohoo – but Spinks’ rapid descent into the bowels of OSRS has officially cleared the bar of ‘something to see’ in my eyes. As someone who’s lost a lot of time to both of these games, I’ve certainly found it entertaining. 

My ears perked up when Spinks posted a picture a week later showing him – at least, I assume it’s him, with the photo taken by someone else or just another camera – playing OSRS mobile at a Slipknot concert, dutifully fishing away in the town of Catherby to ensure no XP was wasted. At this point, the official Old School RuneScape account became aware of Spinks’ adventures, which is largely what put this on my radar.
